Well, then. First litter of the year, first emergency of the year.
I start at Hazel's cage at feeding time, simply because it's closest to the door, and found a litter of about 10 kits inside (the first count is just a rough "fumble through the mound of fur" estimate), but one of the little guys was off to the side rather than in the main pile, and coldly immobile. I set about reviving that one in the usual way (described earlier in this thread, IIRC), by holding it in my cupped hands and huffing my warm breath on it until it started to warm up, and then tucking it inside my shirt so I could carry on with the feeding.
Then I moved on to Hester's cage, and found... an entire litter of cold kits. Apparently she'd pumped them out, then hopped out of the nest box and left them to their own devices. So I hustled through feeding and watering the rest of the bunnies, then loaded them into my hat and brought them inside. They're currently on a shelf in my office, wrapped up in my GF's electric blanket. Hopefully as they warm up, some of them will revive. Once they have, I'll put them back into Hester's next box for a little while and see if she steps up and gets over her new-mama confusion.
